James/ Pennsylvania

Just a quicker disclaimer thing like I have an au with a bunch to states and Alfred in my au is rather different from canon Alfred. ANYWAYS:

This is a sketch practice from October and I was trying out some new brushes + incorporating some Pennsylvania Dutch Fraktur motifs. I love American folk artstyles.

James/ Pennsylvania is more influence by Eastern PA. He’s of Palatinate & African-American descent. In his early years, he was raised as a Quaker and while he hasn’t been a Quaker for a number of years, he still deeply internalizes their values. He’s slow to anger and judgement. He can be described as a sweet simple farmer.

He’s been more or less dating Elise/ New Jersey since the founding of the US. While their personalities are VERY DIFFERENT (Elise being confrontational , judgy and very aggressive), they share similar values in regards to religious freedom and ethnic and religious plurality. Also lol nice to have a girlfriend with access to ocean front property.

Alfred/ USA wasn’t James biggest fan. Alfred was raised a Puritan, and even after the Puritans disintegrated like Massachusetts colonists were not fans of Quakers and Alfred is from Mass.- they weren’t big fan of Quakers. Also generally the Quakers weren’t particularly well-liked in early US history by anyone they were seen as too radical (for y’know that like actively being as discriminatory as the rest). And James wasn’t particularly fond of Alfred either. But after getting to really know James during the Revolution, having fought side by side, they became friends. Actually, I see Alfred being a Masshole at heart, but he is slowly influenced by his states and adopting personality traits and values and ideas from them over time

Finally the last person is my friend melondramatics’s oc, Dorothea/ palatinate. They’re friends cause of Dorothea’s massive influence on Pennsylvania Dutch culture.

Alrighty, meet my girl Pennsylvania !!!

Her human name is Rebecca Ida Franklin, and she's physically 23. She's the 13th oldest state, and celebrates her birthday on December 12th.

Rebecca has an interesting personality. She's hardworking, intelligent, calm, industrious, observant, patient, down-to-earth, level headed, loyal and slightly curt at times, though usually unintentionally. She's typically no-nonsense and serious when it comes down to it, and she's a very hard worker. She's good about getting stuff done and does dislike laziness, but she's not one to berate others for it. Some more fun facts about her:

She's 5'10 or 178 cm in height. She's one of the tallest female states, only being shorter than Alaska and California.

She has roughly type 1C hair

She's Delaware's little sister, though ironically she's a full six inches taller than him.

Outside of the Indigenous languages in her state, she speaks English, Spanish, Dutch, German, Hebrew and Pennsylvania Dutch fluently. She speaks Swedish quite well, and speaks some Cantonese, Mandarin, French and Yiddish.

She's religiously Jewish.

She played the biggest role in the American Industrial Revolution, providing a lot in the way of steel, iron ore and textiles. As such, she has a deep love and skill for mechanics, engineering, construction, technology and anything of the sort. She can repair cars, remodel homes, fix broken wiring, design vehicles and many other things. It's a skill she's kept to this day.

She loves dogs, and exclusively owns Great Danes and German Shepherds.

She will actively complain about literally any type of weather. Outside of the weather, however, she hates complaining and will avoid doing so.

She's overall the 13th oldest state, but among the 13 colonies, she's the 10th oldest. She was physically 15 during the American Revolution, and stole two houses from England during it.

She's generally pretty respectful and keeps to herself. She always minds her own business, and dislikes getting wrapped up in other peoples drama or problems; however, she's always willing to lend a hand with anything mechanical.

She's the go-to car mechanic for many of the states, and Alfred himself.

She gets along well with Germany, Netherlands and Sweden, but she will argue with England pretty much on sight. She's friends with a few of the other states, such as Virginia and Rhode Island.

She argues a lot with New Jersey, though he starts most of it.

She doesn't necessarily dislike high-tech things, and will use super high-tech things if they make her life easier. However, she is generally wary of new technology and prefers to use her old, tried and true methods.

She does use technology and such quite often, but she does like doing things without technology when she can.

Like many of the other 13 colony states, she remains quite close to Alfred. She actually hosted his first official birthday party, and continues to often host his birthday parties.

She's one of the physically stronger states, thanks to her hobby of working with heavy machinery.

She's surprisingly very into snacking and junk food.

Her accent actually tends to switch depending on where she is. If she's staying in Philadelphia she tends to take on a Philadelphian accent, but outside of the city her accent leans towards Appalachian.

She had long hair up until the Industrial Revolution, when she cut it short to avoid any accidents.

She has at least one scar- a burn mark on her shoulder from the burning of Pennsylvania Hall.

Her likes include: Mechanics, hunting, hershey's chocolate, dogs, beer, cheesesteaks, chocolate, Wawa, Sheetz, tastykakes, ham, scrapple, molasses, shoofly pie, chicken pot pie, being outdoors, fixing things, cars, the outdoors, german food, snacks, swimming, reading, libraries, movie theaters, ferris wheels, tinkering, machinery, inventing

Her dislikes include: The weather, humidity, England, drama

This is all I have right, now, but I will be posting more about her later. If I have anyone from Pennsylvania here, please feel free to leave suggestions for her !

hws/aph: 9/11 psa

TW: 9/11

NOTE: I’m not saying you can’t do this and I’m not here to police your speech, but if you do. I & others have all rights to hardcore judge you.

Let’s talk about 9/11 since it’s coming up, and tragedies in general.

I feel like I shouldn’t need to say this, but I have to say this. First of all, I don’t recall 9/11 because I was born in December 2001, but my family members and my neighbors do. 9/11 was a national tragedy in the US that took place in 2001. It was a terrorist attack carried about Al-Qaeda that brought down the Twin Towers in NYC with two passenger airplanes and brought down two other passenger airplanes in Pennsylvania and Virginia. Roughly 3,000 people died and about 6,000 suffered from injuries; some of which are ongoing and have caused cancer. You may have seen Jon Stewart bring this up to Congress recently.

I believe that most Americans understand this is not a joke. It is not meant to be taken lightly. I know that , but what I think a lot of people don’t understand, or perhaps younger people don’t understand is that using this as a tragedy point for your personification oc or hetalia America in fanart, fanficiton, or any fan media is not cute.

I’ll be honest here when I was 12 , even though my family had lost a member due to 9/11, I did not fully understand making this a tragedy point in one of my older ocs was disrespectful. A more clear example of this using hetalia America is saying stuff like “Alfred has [xyz disorder] because of 9/11” or “Alfred has [xyz bodily scar] because of 9/11” or “Alfred changed because of 9/11”. I thought since I wasn’t making edgy “jokes” like “9/11 is a conspiracy by the government” , or since I wasn’t drawing actual people it wasn’t disrespectful. But it was. The reason it is it is because you’re using an actual tragedy that still has deep consequences to this day.

Now you might say, but didn’t you just draw the Battle of Brooklyn? Yes I did, because no one alive today 1) remembers it & 2) it doesn’t have negative consequences today. This rule obviously doesn’t apply to every event such as the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears, is part of attempted genocide on indigenous people in the United States. It has negative consequences to this day on indigenous communities (I’m not here to explain the Trail of Tears, you have the internet). Thus what I’m trying to say is don’t use living tragedies to give the “feels” for your character.

Now this doesn’t mean don’t talk about 9/11. What it means is don’t talk about 9/11 in regards to your personification ocs or hetalia america. Talk about 9/11 without the fan anything. Talk about it like the tragedy it is.

So to sum it up, don’t use 9/11 as the epic tragedy behind your personification oc or hetalia America because it’s just straight up disrespectful. It’s disrespectful to the victims. It’s disrespectful to the family of the victims. It’s disrespectful to anyone who knew those victims. It’s disrespectful to me and to thousands of others.
